EC will be moving into the Richmond office of JWTSC on 1st November and there will be no redundancies.
JWTSC has a well-established global graduate/digital offering and this acquisition marks another significant step in the development of their employee communications business. JWTSC has enjoyed substantial growth in the last twelve months. There will be an obvious immediate benefit to EC on joining an organisation whose core activity is employee communications.
Peter Womersley, MD of JWTSC said, ìWe are extremely pleased to be welcoming a talented group of proven experts who are closely aligned to us culturally. They have a great track record for delivering creative and innovative solutions and the combination of our existing capabilities coupled with their specialist skills will prove a compelling client offering.î
Alasdair Goulden, MD of Empower Communications said, ìWe are delighted to be joining JWTSC. It has been evident for some time that we sat outside the core business of the Empower Group. I believe we bring an enhanced offering to JWTSC and together make a potent force that is unique in the employee communications sector. It was also important to the EC management team that our people and clients alike would feel the benefit of increased resources and thinking from the sale.î
